CHAP. VI.
1 Christ reproueth the Pharises blindnesse about the obseruation of the Sabbath, by Scripture, reason, and miracle: 13 Chooseth twelue Apostles: 17 Healeth the diseased: 20 Preacheth to his disciples before the people of blessings, and curses: 27 How we must loue our enemies: 46 And ioyne the obedience of good workes, to the hearing of the word: least in the euill day of temptation, we fall like an house built vpon the face of the earth, without any foundation.
1 And it came to passe on the second Sabbath after the first, that he went thorow the corne fields: and his disciples plucked the eares of corne, and did eate, rubbing them in their hands.1
5 And he said vnto them, That the sonne of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
6 And it came to passe also on another Sabbath, that he entred into the Synagogue, and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.6
11 And they were filled with madnesse, and communed one with another what they might doe to Iesus.
13 ¶ And when it was day, he called vnto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelue; whom also hee named Apostles:13
14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother: Iames and Iohn, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon, called Zelotes,
16 And Iudas the brother of Iames, and Iudas Iscariot, which also was the traitour.16
18 And they that were vexed with vncleane spirits: and they were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went vertue out of him, and healed them all.
20 ¶ And hee lifted vp his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be yee poore: for yours is the kingdome of God.20
24 But woe vnto you that are rich: for yee haue receiued your consolation.24
25 Woe vnto you that are full: for yee shall hunger. Woe vnto you that laugh now: for yee shall mourne and weepe.25
26 Woe vnto you when all men shall speake well of you: for so did their fathers to the false Prophets.
27 ¶ But I say vnto you which heare, Loue your enemies, doe good to them which hate you,27
28 Blesse them that curse you, & pray for them which despitefully vse you.
29 And vnto him that smiteth thee on the one cheeke, offer also the other: and him that taketh away thy cloake, forbid not to take thy coat also.29
30 Giue to euery man that asketh of thee, and of him that taketh away thy goods, aske them not againe.
31 And as yee would that men should doe to you, doe yee also to them likewise.31
32 For if yee loue them which loue you, what thanke haue ye? for sinners also loue those that loue them.32
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receiue, What thanke haue ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receiue as much againe.34
36 Be ye therefore mercifull, as your Father also is mercifull.
37 Iudge not, and ye shall not bee iudged: condemne not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgiue, and ye shall be forgiuen.37
39 And hee spake a parable vnto them, Can the blinde leade the blinde? Shall they not both fall into the ditch?39
40 The disciple is not aboue his master: but euery one that is perfect shalbe as his master.40
41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but perceiuest not the beame that is in thine owne eye?41
43 For a good tree bringeth not foorth corrupt fruit: neither doeth a corrupt tree bring foorth good fruit.43
46 ¶ And why call ye mee Lord, Lord, and doe not the things which I say?46
47 Whosoeuer commeth to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like.
View Wesley's Notes for Luke Chapter 6
6:1 The first Sabbath - So the Jews reckoned their Sabbaths, from the passover to pentecost; the first, second, third, and so on, till the seventh Sabbath (after the second day.) This immediately preceded pentecost, which was the fiftieth day after the second day of unleavened bread. #Mt 12:1|; Mr 2:23.
6:2 Why do ye - St. Matthew and Mark represent the Pharisees as proposing the question to our Lord himself. It was afterward, probably, they proposed it to his disciples.
6:4 #1Sa 21:6|.
6:6 #Mt 12:9|; Mr 3:1.
6:9 To save life or to kill - He just then probably saw the design to kill him rising in their hearts.
6:12 In the prayer of God - The phrase is singular and emphatical, to imply an extraordinary and sublime devotion. #Mr 3:13|.
6:13 #Mt 10:2|; Mr 3:14; Ac 1:13.
6:15 Simon called Zelotes - Full of zeal; otherwise called Simon the Canaanite.
6:17 On a plain - At the foot of the mountain.
6:20 In the following verses our Lord, in the audience of his newly - chosen disciples, and of the multitude, repeats, standing on the plain, many remarkable passages of the sermon he had before delivered, sitting on the mount. He here again pronounces the poor and the hungry, the mourners, and the persecuted, happy; and represents as miserable those who are rich, and full, and joyous, and applauded: because generally prosperity is a sweet poison, and affliction a healing, though bitter medicine. Let the thought reconcile us to adversity, and awaken our caution when the world smiles upon us; when a plentiful table is spread before us, and our cup is running over; when our spirits are gay; and we hear (what nature loves) our own praise from men. Happy are ye poor - The word seems here to be taken literally: ye who have left al] for me. #Mt 5:3|.
6:24 Miserable are ye rich - If ye have received or sought your consolation or happiness therein.
6:25 Full - Of meat and drink, and worldly goods. That laugh - That are of a light trifling spirit.
6:26 Wo to you when all men shall speak well of you - But who will believe this?
6:27 But I say to you that hear - Hitherto our Lord had spoken only to particular sorts of persons: now he begins speaking to all in general. #Mt 5:44|.
6:29 To him that smiteth thee on the cheek - Taketh away thy cloak - These seem to be proverbial expressions, to signify an invasion of the tenderest points of honour and property. Offer the other - Forbid not thy coat - That is, rather yield to his repeating the affront or injury, than gratify resentment in righting your self; in any method not becoming Christian love. #Mt 5:39|.
6:30 Give to every one - Friend or enemy, what thou canst spare, and he really wants: and of him that taketh away thy goods - By borrowing, if he be insolvent, ask them not again. #Mt 5:42|.
6:31 #Mt 7:12|.
6:32 It is greatly observable, our Lord has so little regard for one of the highest instances of natural virtue, namely, the returning love for love, that he does not account it even to deserve thanks. For even sinners, saith he, do the same: men who do not regard God at all. Therefore he may do this, who has not taken one step in Christianity.
6:37 #Mt 7:1|.
6:38 Into your bosom - Alluding to the mantles the Jews wore, into which a large quantity of corn might be received. With the same measure that ye mete with, it shall be measured to you again - Amazing goodness! So we are permitted even to carve for ourselves! We ourselves are, as it were, to tell God how much mercy he shall show us! And can we be content with less than the very largest measure? Give then to man, what thou designest to receive of God.
6:39 He spake a parable - Our Lord sometimes used parables when he knew plain and open declarations would too much inflame the passions of his hearers. It is for this reason he uses this parable, Can the blind lead the blind? - Can the scribes teach this way, which they know not themselves? Will not they and their scholars perish together? Can they make their disciples any better than themselves? But as for those who will be my disciples, they shall be all taught of God; who will enable them to come to the measure of the stature of the fulness of their Master. Be not ye like their disciples, censuring others, and not amending yourselves. #Mt 15:14|.
6:40 #Mt 10:24|; John 15:20.
6:41 #Mt 7:3|.
6:46 And why call ye me Lord, Lord - What will fair professions avail, without a life answerable thereto? #Mt 7:21|.
6:47 #Mt 7:24|.
